The new iPhone 6 is simply bending, all too easily.

Are any of you having the same issues?


Dubbed "bend-gate", some iPhone 6 Plus owners have discovered their new phone's aluminium body literally bending in their pockets.

Unlike LG's bendy G FLEX and numerous other bendy phones that came out earlier this year, the iPhone 6 was not made to bend.

MacRumors, which first reported on the issue, said "a small but growing number" of iPhone 6 Plus owners had reported in their forums that their phone had been bent after carrying the device in their pockets. In one example, a new 6 Plus was bent during a day of "dancing, dining, and driving to a wedding"
.

I was finished watching a video about this when you posted the topic.

Honestly, that's crazy. You can bend the 6+ with your hands.

I haven't experienced any problems. But I can see this being a huge problem, and people will end up switching phones or degrading back to the iPhone 5(5s) or lower.

Hopefully this doesn't happen to me. I would be really mad, though they should have made the body more sturdy.

Wow, this is a pretty big issue, and here I was about to go buy the 6+ on Friday. I suppose they'll have this problem solved within a few months.

That sucks for everyone that has one, do you think they will do a recall of all of the plusses?

No. They'll blame customers I'd of thought.

Oh yeah that happened to me too. And I accidentally lied down on it, but it was my upper back. Either I am incredibly ripped or that screen has the strength of a piece of paper.
